The arms with the fish already appeared on the oldest known seal of the city, dating from the 13<sup>th</sup> century. The fish most likely is a symbol for the importance of fishing for the city at the time. The stars were also present on the first seal, but have varied regularly during the centuries. At present the number is fixed to seven. | The arms with the fish already appeared on the oldest known seal of the city, dating from the 13<sup>th</sup> century.
